Studio Posh 29 has become a constant sanctuary for Sacramento people with hair troubles thanks to the calm and caring ownership of Katie Radu. Many of the stylists here are well known for their precision with cut and color and for always being able to come back with a new solution to a challenge. Part of that skill and ingenuity has grown out of the mentorship Katie provides to artists in Studio Posh 29.
The Studio
It sits on the east end of Broadway in Sacramento, an area where trendy cafes and breakfast joints hide in plain sight, and most days of the week you can hear school children in the distance. It’s the kind of place that’s easy to feel safe in, so it makes sense for Studio Posh 29 to be here. With cozy, wood-paneled walls, and a quiet atmosphere it’s probably one of the most relaxing places in Sacramento to get your hair or nails done. It opened its doors back in the summer of 2015, and has been weaving beauty and fixing compromised and box-colored hair with a cool confidence ever since.
Katie Radue
Apart from steadfast salon owner and cool teacher, Katie obviously fulfills her role as a stylist and colorist to an incredible degree. She makes white Kahleesi styles and classic balayage look easy. The things she’s been doing with Fanola colors lately serve as great examples of clean, professional work for a couple of reasons. For one, it’s very well done. She makes hairstyles look like they just happened to grow out that way. That’s an important detail. The less visible a stylist is in her work, the better. The other great thing about Katie, though, is that a lot of the time when she styles or colors she’s fixing something. People come to Studio Posh 29 with damaged hair or months of box dye or after a botched bleaching process from somewhere else, or even just a poor cut. And Katie and her team are always there to help them through it. For both clients and stylists, Katie has become the person to go to when you’re just not sure what to do anymore.
Fanola Troubleshooting Class
Now the good news is that Katie is coming to the Salon Guys’ home to teach a class on troubleshooting color problems with Fanola. That includes everything “from color corrections to toning disasters,” and the class comes along with a gift bag of Fanola products that Katie picked out herself, so you’ll walk away with the tools you need to actually practice what you learned. The bad news is this is happening very soon and might be tricky getting seats for. The class starts at 11 AM on Monday, March 13th.
It’s not the end of the world if you can’t make it. Even if you can’t learn from Katie personally, you can still follow @studioposh29 to get your daily fill of hairspiration, and while you’re at it, follow @salonguys and @fanola_usa so you can stay updated on the new hair artists and the next class.
